FOUNTAlN PEN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 341,001, dated May 4, 1886.

Application filed October 16, 1885.

To all whom it 12mg concern:

Be it known that I, EDWIN J. HALL, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of San Francisco, and State of California, have invented a new and use valve-seat removed; Fig. 5, a transverse sectional view of the combined cap and valve thumb-piece; Fig. (5, a transverse section of the combined stem-guide and valve seat; and Fig. 7 is a horizontal section showing the penholder cut through the dotted lines an in Fig. 4.

The following is the construction of the same:

A represents the outer case, B the combined cap and valve thumb-piece, and O the female screw by which the sameis attached to the val vestem.

D shows the combined stenrguide and valveseat for the upper valve; E, the guide-hole for the valve'stem; F, the valve-seat.

G represents the guide-arms of the valvestem and the upper valve.

H represents the valve-stem; J, the valvespring.

K represents the valve-scat for the lower valve.

L represents the lower valve.

M represents the pen-point.

N represents the collar which forms the seat for the valve-spring.

P represents the pen-case.

S represents a rubber washer on the valve G to serve as a packing.

G and G represent the guide-arms attached to the valve G.

Serial No.180,062. (No model.)

I form the outer case and cap ofv gold, silu ver, or any suitable metal for a neat pen holder, and the spring and valves of such metals as are usually employed in similar construction.

I employ any ordinary gold or steel pen, k

such as is employed in other pen-holders.

To fill the pen,I unscrew the cap and thumbpiece B and take out the upper valve-seat and stenrguide. This opening is then snfficiently large to allow the ink to be poured in at the top and fill the case.

The following is the operation of the same: \Vhen the fountain pen-holder is filled and the combined valve-stem guide and valve-seat D is screwed in, and the cap and thumb-piece B screwed on, the thumb is gently pressed upon the cap B, and the spring J, yielding, opens both the upper valve, G, and lower valve, L, allowing a drop of ink to flow out into the pen M. The guide-arms of the valve G are designed to prevent the turning of the valve-stem when the cap B and upper valve, D, are being unscrewed or screwed on. As the valve-stem H is pressed down, opening the valves G and L, the upper valve, G, admits the air at the top end of the pen-holder A, and allows the ink to flow out at the lower valve, L, and fill the pen, as required.

Having thus described my invention,what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,

In a fountain-pen, the case A, having the stem-guide and valve-seat D F located in its upper end, and valveseat K in the lower end thereof, in combination with valve'stem H, having the valve G,provided with guidearms G and valve L at its upper and lower ends, respectively, the cap and thumb piece B, screwed to the top of the stem H, and valvespring J. all constructed and operating substantially as set forth.
